Catalyzing Nobel-Caliber Science: Celebrating the Great Minds Behind Keystone Symposia
By Emma Wabel
As we launch our upcoming meeting season, we reflect on those who contribute to Keystone Symposia's place...
Keystone Symposia Board of Directors
Keystone Symposia is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors composed of distinguished leaders from across academia, industry, and other scientific and non-scientific sectors. The board meets throughout the year to provide guidance and direction to Keystone Symposia staff, and to participate with the larger Scientific Advisory Board in the determination of future conference topics and organizers. Members serve 3-year terms, and up to 3 consecutive terms. New board members are identified and recruited by the Nominating Committee of the Board and elected by the full Board.
